Women's prisons 'should all close within a decade'

rbrockway · 2014-06-20T22:30:20+00:00

This is an old story but many women and politicians campaign to close female prisons. It is outrageous discrimination. At the moment the Prison service spends 30% more on female prisoners than male. Per prisoner. Basically they have more facilities like nursery etc. Also male prisoners have to wear a prison Uniform whereas female prisoners do not.

There has been a recent clamp down on rights for prisoners but again this is only for male prisoners.

At the moment there is a campaign to not lock up female asylum seekers. Only male.

Close all women's prisons and turn them into men's prison? Un. Fucking. Believable. Feminism is not an equal rights movement. It is a women's advocacy (no matter what the equities), anti-male ideology.

An article from 2007 is not exactly news.

The report claims: "Women and men are different. Equal treatment of men and women does not result in equal outcomes."

Can we all say benevolent sexism, female privilege. Until we close the compassion gap we're not going to get men the help they need.

I agree with the title: lets close women's prison and make them ungendered prisons.

The article is bogus.

You know how to spend less money on prisons? Legalize drugs.

That's how a country can save a lot of money. Maybe even make some thanks to sales taxes.

Why not make prisons gender neutral and put everyone in the same prisons? Would allow for more cost-efficiency, I imagine.

Fuck that.

Closing the women's jails would help the Home Secretary to hit his target of finding 10,000 extra prisons places over the next five years, which is expected to cost £1.5billion.

WOW!!&(&#$

The thing is, they are absolutely right.

Women's prisons are an abomination against human decency, a terrible way to address the problem they purport to solve and SHOULD be closed.

But here's the thing: that's all true of men's prisons too, they should also mostly be closed, and just by numbers they are a MUCH bigger problem.

The views expressed by this report are true, but at the same time it's insanely discriminatory in its basic approach...
